I looked up videos on IMDb for time travel as I have just finished with a TV Series and found Being Erica. I don't watch TV. per say, well series, as I get caught up in them and hate waiting for the next episode to air. Usually I wait till there is at least 3 years, or the series is gone. I will read about the series here and other places, weigh the pros and cons. Before I even see 1 episode I will have a full working idea what to expect.

Till you see with your own eyes you can't really form an opinion.

I now have 4 years of Being Erica to watch, and being in the USA we don't get it here.

Over the past week I've had the pleasure viewing one of the best series I have ever seen.

Erin Karpluk is great as Erica Strange. Michael Riley as Dr. Tom fits perfect.

Thou the story at times goes in very odd directions, and at some time you wish that episode was never filmed. You see it for what it has to offer the viewer. Both the good and bad come out in this TV. Series.

When Erica sees her brother after he has been dead for years, you can almost put your self in her shoes and feel the joy and pain. Knowing what is right and wrong has no effect on Erica, nor would it have any effect on you or me. To save the life of someone you love, you would be amazed at what you will do.

Saving Leo was bad, and now she must loose him again and again.

A wonderful season finale. So many emotions, amazing acting. I cried several times because the struggle of characters is so well presented. One can absolutely feel for the mother when she breaks down crying when rebuilding the barn. And all the pain and emotions that Erica feels when talking to her brother knowing that she can't stop him from dying. It is very heartbreaking.

I do not completely understand why she couldn't do anything to stop him. Yes, the fire was his mistake. But maybe if something was said to him, not a warning and not directly throw his joint away, but maybe some sort of encouragement and understanding he wouldn't have gone to the barn. Our words and actions affect the actions of others. I guess maybe it is because nothing that Erica herself did that day was wrong? But I won't dwell on it, no matter what it was an amazing episode.

And again, while she couldn't change what she wanted so much she could make a little action that couldn't save her brother but could help to heal the pain of her family later in life.

I just hope Dr. Tom wasn't fired. I love him as her therapist and would want to see him back
